The update is now rolling out in stages to all Pixel Watch models, going back to the original Watch 1.

Plus, I see bolder indicators for low or high warnings, and the ongoing goals for the day are all better highlighted in a popping blue. Expressive’s rouder typography signature is here too, thanks to some Roboto Flex touches.
